This weekend, the Great Ashby Gathering is returning to Market Street, bringing a few road closures to be aware of.

The scooter rally is taking place from the Queen Head's Pub from 11am on Sunday 7 June and last year bought over 1,000 scooters to town centre.

This year, Leicestershire County Council has put in place some road closures to keep this event safe.

On Sunday 7 June, Market Street and Brook Street will be closed, with a one-way system in place on Bath Street, Elford Street, Derby Road and Lower Church Street.

There will also be temporary parking restrictions on Wilfred Place, Lower Church Street, Bath Street and Derby Road.
